Daniel Jackson [merged]

Had a good game by his standards, but gee there were moments he was cutting it fine.

A class player makes it look like they have all the time in the world when they have the ball . . . Hacko somehow manages to do the opposite  Credit to him though, was involved in some important moments and didn't stuff up like he normally does.

[Gigantor]

his disposal is awful and his decision making can be bad at times,but for me he is automatic selection at this stage purely for his hardness at the contest and his ability to shut down gun players

Jacko must have bathed in oil before the game, no-one could tackle him 

lol, when he does get tackled he doesn't look to give it off either, he just keeps running 

[Chuck17]

He has gone early with his one good game per season

[Tigeritis™©®]

Best game he's played.
Fact! 

[TigerLand]

IMO Jacko is the most frustrating player for our club I have ever watched.

I have to say he was really good last night, good on him.

Jackson had another very good game!

[tony_montana]

Yep liked his game, is starting to learn to play within his capabilities and not go for too much, cant recall any typical brain fade moments or close calls that leave you shaking your head

Jackson was labelled by Damien Hardwick as the Tigers' best player over three games.

[tony_montana]

Today was his best game - probably ever

[Damo]

He has been super te 1st three games.

Love him or hate him, he deserves some credit

[TigerTimeII]

I think deledio Cotchin Conca Martin  have been better

[Willy]

Yep, Jacko's goin OK at the minute. He's supplying his usual hardness and 1%'s but he also seems to have reduced his rangers and added a bit more run to his game.

Most focus was rightly on captain Trent Cotchin, Dustin Martin and Brett Deledio after Richmond's thumping AFL win over the Western Bulldogs.

But fellow Tigers midfielder Daniel Jackson has earnt the highest plaudits from coach Damien Hardwick, saying he has been one of the first players to be picked in the team.

"He's been fantastic - I personally think he's been our best player of the first three weeks," Hardwick said.

"Week-in, week-out he does a job.

"He's hard, he's tough. He's everything we want a player in our jumper to be.

"What he does is consistently give us that effort that is required to win games."

Jackson's 20 disposals on Sunday were well below the prolific numbers that Cotchin, Martin and Deledio racked up.

But his statistics also featured 10 contested possessions, five clearances and a team-high six tackles.

Jackson said it was a great day out, particularly given he has bad memories of previous matches against the 'Dogs at Etihad Stadium.

"I've had a couple of tough days and nights here against the Bulldogs early on in my career," he said.

"I remember they certainly made us pay, so it actually feels good to get a little bit back in that regard."

Saturday's MCG blockbuster against Collingwood will be a major test for the improving Tigers.

Jackson said one key to that game will be staying level-headed about their strong start to the season.

"In regards to next week's game, it will be about the same principles - and the week after that and the week after that," Jackson said.

"It's just sticking to what makes us a good side and not getting ahead of ourselves.

"We have a very level-headed group.

"There are no egos in there - everyone wants to play together and win together and that will be our focus."
